the graveyard

the graveyard




You wake up in your bed. At first, it might not seem as though anything has changed...until you try to leave the room. You'll quickly discover that while you can phase through the interior walls of the building, you can't open doors, pick up objects, or alter the environment in any way. Worse, the only people who can see and hear you are your fellow ghosts; to everyone else, you may as well be so much empty air.

That said, there are still a few other things you can do besides just observing those who are still alive. You now have the ability to conjure any food, drink, or reasonably small object out of midair, although anything you conjure will go unnoticed by the living inhabitants. More interestingly, there is now an intricate iron door embedded in the wall of the main room that you're sure hadn't been there yesterday. If you open it, you'll find that at long last you've exited the building...and the world outside looks quite familiar.

In fact, it's your world. Though...it might not be exactly how you remember it when you left.

You won't be able to get far in the area before you feel some kind of barrier preventing you from taking another step, but it's enough for you to know that something has Gone Terribly Wrong. Perhaps it's the bombed-out shell of your building, or the monsters screeching nearby, or the corpses of your army scattered on the ground; whatever the situation is, it's clear that you would have been in grave danger had you still been back home. Luckily, your ghostly status is still in effect even here; while there may be danger still lurking about, none of it will be able to affect you.

The building behind you has taken on a translucent, almost insubstantial appearance; only the iron doors remain as solid as ever. You can simply open them again to return to the cat's domain.

(OOC: Here's how this will work! Whenever someone new arrives to the graveyard, the world outside will change to their canon's world. We'll leave the exact location and situation up to you to describe; the only thing that matters is that it should be clear your character would have been in enormous danger had they been around. Everyone in the graveyard will be able to explore the area, which will at maximum be around the size of a large ballroom; you'll be able to see things outside the area, but you won't be able to take another step forward. You can interact with the setting, but you won't be able to affect anything living, and anything that might pose a danger such as bullets will pass right through you.)

What the hell does he expect to accomplish? He won't be returning to his own world if he takes her body. What a fool!!

[You were supposed to kill Kaoru, Kouha! Now the vote still needs two more people!]

[personal profile] scientificinvestigator 2014-05-13 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
No, Kouha! Stop it!

[personal profile] vivillon 2014-05-13 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know. Youmu and Austria left eventually--maybe it will happen automatically?
vivillon: (in our brief lives)

[personal profile] vivillon 2014-05-13 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe he thinks being alive in her world would be better than nothing. [Serena really doesn't know what's going on at this point...]
obeytherod: (MALIK  ‣  this isn't good)

[personal profile] obeytherod 2014-05-13 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
The cat is their only known way out of here. Going against him might just get everybody killed; not that I like the idea of just following orders.

[And now it looks like Kaoru isn't going to die. Great.]

If anything, we should be the ones voting!

[personal profile] scientificinvestigator 2014-05-13 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe after this, people will realize what's at stake...

[Then her death won't have been in vain!]

[personal profile] scientificinvestigator 2014-05-13 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
It had better not be Maya.

[Kaoru promised.]
vivillon: (we've managed to meet)

[personal profile] vivillon 2014-05-13 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
Kouha! [They haven't been able to communicate with the living, of course, but Kouha is dead, too, so maybe they'll hear him?] Kouha, leave Maya alone!
bladebender: (SHRUG ► w/e)

[personal profile] bladebender 2014-05-13 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
One would hope so. Kouha just striding around in Maya's body determined on surviving or whatever... [ Something EVEN STUPIDER is going to happen, isn't it. ] It can't be good.

[personal profile] scientificinvestigator 2014-05-13 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
It was worth a shot, even if it's not a guarantee. We had to try something.

[So, hopeful but not optimistic.]
vivillon: (in our brief lives)

[personal profile] vivillon 2014-05-13 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think Sir Meowington cares about us at all at this point. [As much as he's ever cared about anything.]
vivillon: (in our brief lives)

[personal profile] vivillon 2014-05-13 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
Would he count as an extra person that way? [Would a fourth person need to die?]

[personal profile] scientificinvestigator 2014-05-13 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
That's not why Maya summoned you!

[Grr grr... wait hold on.]

They can't hear us, can they?
vivillon: (start from there)

[personal profile] vivillon 2014-05-13 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
I hope so. There has to be more to this. [If she says that enough she's hoping she can will that possibility into existence.]
hakurouken: (✿ I thought you didn't like sparrows)

[personal profile] hakurouken 2014-05-13 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
You're either really brave or really stupid to go along with it but I commend your commitment.

[At the same time, she can't help but be wary. Kaoru especially gives her a bad vibe]

Do you know who else he'll be going after?
vivillon: (in our brief lives)

[personal profile] vivillon 2014-05-13 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think so. The living usually can't, but Kouha isn't exactly alive, so... [It was worth a shot.]
obeytherod: (MALIK  ‣  you dare defy me?)

[personal profile] obeytherod 2014-05-13 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
You think he ever cared about us in the first place? [Because he sure as hell doesn't.]

[personal profile] scientificinvestigator 2014-05-13 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
There does. I know Athena and Mr. Gavin are good at thinking outside of the box, maybe they'll come up with something.
vivillon: (a world where all can be free)

[personal profile] vivillon 2014-05-13 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
I mean it relatively. He's still talking to everyone who's alive, at least. [Sometimes.]

[personal profile] scientificinvestigator 2014-05-13 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not stupid.

[She was kind of stupid agreeing to this.]

I don't. He came and talked to me specifically. He mentioned not going after other people from my world [kind of], but other than that... I really don't know.
bladebender: (ARMS CROSSED ► listen)

[personal profile] bladebender 2014-05-13 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
I guess that would depend if it's based on... spirit or body... And if the cat would notice?

And would he just ride along back to Maya's world, or would her body be dragged to his...? [ This is way too complicated good god Kouha you hecked it all up. ]

[personal profile] scientificinvestigator 2014-05-13 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
Hmph.

[Stupid being dead.]

Well, when Maya kicks him out and he comes back, we'll yell at him then.
obeytherod: (MALIK  ‣  suspicious)

[personal profile] obeytherod 2014-05-13 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
The fact Kaoru didn't kill her today tells me she's not a target.

[He's not trying to comfort her, he's just being factual.] He must need her alive. Or maybe he only plans to kill people who can be talked into it.

[Ema, he saw right through that manipulation. Too bad you didn't.]
vivillon: (start from there)

[personal profile] vivillon 2014-05-13 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
That's not his body to take! [Rgggh! Serena summons the first thing that pops into her head--a Pokeball--and throws it at the back of Maya/Kouha's head. It just sails right through, though.]
obeytherod: (MALIK  ‣  extremely mild shock)

[personal profile] obeytherod 2014-05-13 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
What? And channel him for the rest of her life? Somehow, I doubt that.
